参考答案单选：1-20 ACDAB CBCDA BCDAD BDACD书面表达参考文：Oseola McCarty,an ordinary worker with a thrifty lifestyle,donated a great deal of money to a university ,which aroused public attention and earned her widespread social recognition.In return,she received a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. Virtuous and warm-hearted,the lady concerned has donated a considerable amount of saving to help college students struggling with financial difficulties,thereby motivating people at any other corner of the world to participate in this affectionate activity.From where I stand,not only will the lady’s generosity paint a very brilliant blue print for the future of those students in want of money,but also it will rekindle their faith in life by convincing them that their life goal is elevating and worth trying.Given the choice,I would make donations to those who still live under the bottom line of the modern living condition.Convincing arguments as follows can be made to support my stance.For one thing,generous and selfless dedication may take indispensable assistance to them,especially for the time when they are confronted with pain and sorrow,twists and turns.For another,just as an Indian old saying goes, roses in her hand;flavor in mine.That is to say,great satisfaction would step slowly and gracefully in to the mercy-producers’ souls as well.。

江苏省如东中学2015-2016学年度高三英语自主练习51 一．完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）I grew up one of ten children on a farm in Wyoming. After my dad’s service in World War II, he was 1 again to fight during the Korean War, and when he returned home, he couldn’t drink 2 to numb (麻痹) his terrible memories. He struggled to 3 for his growing family.On our occasional trips to town, I 4 out boxfuls of books from the library. When I opened a book, I could 5 myself in unknown places —where children weren’t hungry and were in 6 of little.When I wasn’t daydreaming, my 7 was the life I shared with my brothers and sisters. At night I hid under the covers 8 to silence the sounds of life in an alcoholic home. Classmates asked 9 we didn’t have electricity or a telephone. I suppose my explanations were 10 more than lies, but the stories I told improved 11 every book I read.Starting at a very young age, my siblings (兄弟姐妹) and I sometimes got jobs to earn money — to put more food on the family table. We 12 newspapers, babysat, and cleaned other people’s houses.Mom grew vegetables, raised chickens, and baked bread, so we seldom went hungry, even when supper was only a pot of beans. 13 my real hunger wasn’t for food —it was a hunger for a better life. It was a hunger for knowledge about the world 14 our simple existence. It was a hunger to prove Dad 15 when he told us we would never amount to anything.Hunger motivated my brothers and sisters to achieve much 16 than our parents expected 17 us. We devoured (如饥似渴地吸取) the offerings of the public schools because we realized that 18 would be our steppingstone into a brighter future.Now I’m 19 of the accomplishments of my siblings: an art professor; a well-known doctor; plus business owners. And me, I’m the keeper of the family stores. I’ll never know if we would have so many accumulated successes if we had not known 20 as children. But thisI do know: I believe it can be a good thing.1.

It’s not that you don’t have enough. In fact you usually have too much time, and as a result time gets wasted. If you take good notes in class, and spend one hour reviewing your notes every day before going to sleep, you make use of the power of the subconscious (下意识) to absorb information and by the time exams come around you’ll know all the material on a subconscious level, and you don’t have to sit up the night before exams. Considering the amount of free time you usually have in college, one hour a day is not much in view of the long-term benefits.Select Easy CoursesIn your first term of college, load up on as many “easy A’s” as possible. There are severalreasons for this. The first term of college is full of excitement as it is, and there are probably even more today than ever thanks to Facebook, Twitter, and more. The last thing you want to do is add difficult coursework to this. The other reason why selecting easy courses is powerful is that it allows you to start off your college career with an extremely high GPA. Good grades have less and less of an impact on your GPA later in your college career and raising your GPA becomes much more difficult. Selecting easy courses in the first term also leaves room for the occasional failure when coursework becomes more challenging.Join (or Form) Study GroupsIf you go to a large public school where classes often have 700 plus people, study groups are an extremely effective way to ensure good grades. Study groups are often led by older students who have taken the course and received A’s in that particular course. They also often provide you with resources such as practice tests, practice problems, and many others that might not be provided by professors.Use Personal DevelopmentI c an honestly say I didn’t involve myself in personal development when I was in college. Looking back I realize that I suffered from low self-respect and a very unhealthy self-image. Without doubt this had a negative impact on my GPA. But, if I had combined personal development techniques with the three steps above, my college career would have turned out very different.If you have already started school, I recommend developing a strategy that applies these four ideas to your current schedule. If you haven’t started school yet, do some research on easier courses and what study groups might be available. If you follow through and commit to the four recommendations above, you’ll set yourself up for a very successful first term, and hopefully a very successful college career. Good luck to all of you starting the college journey.How to Graduate from College with a High GPASpend one hour every day on yourlessons.

DBABParents are anxious about their children‟s education and should be more detached (超脱的)to allow them to develop naturally，a leading headteacher, Peter Tait, says．Writing in Attain，the magazine of the Independent Association of Prep Schools，Mr. Tait said：“While parents are determined to do the very best for their child，they can end up doing the opposite．”He said parents need to exercise“common sense and parental nature”when it comes to raising their children．He added：“Parents also need to have confidence in those whose job it is to look after their children‟s education．To do this requires a certain detachment，a willingness to trust the passage of time，focusing on whether their children are happy，challenged and purposeful and are learning the right values．If so，they will be fine．”However，he said，some parents are changing from“sensible”and“moderate(有节制的)”people，who have faith in their schools and teachers，and are“turning into fighters ready to battle with anything and anyone on behalf of…their‟child．“What has made some parents put their own child at the centre of the universe and never to care about the rest?” And he also blamed the obsession(强迫症)over league tables for some parents‟anxiety．He said：“League tables have caused too much anxiety for parents and have led to a boom in the number of tutoring agencies as parents feel they have no choice but to give their children a chance．”Mr. Tait acknowledged that being a parent has become increasingly difficult．He concluded：“While teachers may occasionally feel discouraged by over-sensitive and demanding parents，they should note that this parenting lark is rather more difficult than it used to be．”19．Why does Mr. Tait say parents should be more detached?A．They haven‟t tried their best for their children．B．They have no common sense or parental nature．C．It‟s wrong for them to care about children‟s education．D．Their effor t doesn‟t pay off．20．What does Mr. Tait think parents should care more about?A．Children‟s mental development．B．Children‟s school reports．C．Children‟s wide interests．D．Children‟s physical health．21．Which of the following can best replace the un derlined phrase“league tables”in Paragraph 4?A．Parents‟ obsession．B．Teachers‟ detachment．C．Students‟ scores ranking．D．Faith in school and teachers．22．What‟s the main idea of the text?A．Parenting is more difficult than it was．B．Parents should allow children to develop naturally．C．Teachers may feel discouraged by demanding parents．D．Children should be put at the center of the universe．DACBCChildren in the United States eat too much pizza that some researchers now argue the food should join the ranks of sugary drinks and fast food for the harm they do to health．In a new study, the researchers found that pizza is a large source of calories, saturated fat(饱和脂肪)and salt in children‟s diets．Children should not eat more than two slices of pizza for a meal．and should pair that with salad, rather than with another high-calorie food，the researchers concluded．“Parents should aim to control pizza consumption(消费), particularly as a snack where it was shown to have a very adverse impact on children, and they should put their pizza dollars toward healthier brands．” said Lisa Powel, director of the Illinois Prevention Research Center．Pizza has become a matter of focus in recent years for researchers who look at the meals children eat, rather than the nutrients within them．Studies have found pizza is among the greatest sources of calories for children．“Since pizza remains a common part of children‟s diet, we need to make …healthy‟ pizza．”Powel said．To make pizza healthier, foo d producers should reduce its saturated fat and salt, and increase its whole grain content，she said．Whether or not pizza is harmful enough to be picked out as an unhealthy food, the study attracts attention to a larger issue with the modern American lifestyle, said Alexis Tindall, who was not involved in the flow research．Many foods arc eaten too frequently and in large sizes．said Tindall．To solve the problem, people don‟t have to give up eating pizza, but instead, they can eat smaller and healthier pizza，she said．“Make it at home, instead of ordering it out where you don‟t have any control over how it‟s mad e．”Tindall said. “When we make it at home, we can choose healthier ingredients，increase the vegetables．reduce fat, and put in less cheese．Pizza doe sn‟t have to be just pepperoni(意大利辣香肠)and cheese．”23．According to the research．children shouldn‟t eat．A．more than two slices of pizza in a day B．two slices of pizza for a meal C．more pizza with French fries D．pizza along with salad24．The last sentence of the passage implies that pepperoni and cheese ．A．are not necessary ingredients of pizzaB．should be reduced by adding healthier ingredients．C．should all be replaced with healthier ingredient．D．are not the o nly healthy ingredients of pizza25．What is the best title for the passage?A．Pizza—a real junk food!B．How to prepare better meals for your kids?C．Bring in healthier pizza for AmericansD．Discover the harm of eating pizzaCBCDMichelle Obama, Kate Moss and Samantha Cameron are three of the most stylish ﹙时髦的﹚women on the planet because they have their daughters rather than their style. A new research has shown that women with daughters tend to be more stylish than mothers of sons; a fact partly because of the style advice their daughters offer as they get older.78 percent of women over the age of 50 say they would be more than happy to let their daughters choose a complete outfit﹙全套衣装﹚for them. However, just five percent of women say they would turn to their sons for style advice, while 28 percent believe that mothers of boys are less fashionable than women with girls.“Women who don‟t have daughters become less interested in style as they grow older but having a daughter may keep aliv e her interest in looking great,” comments psychologist Honey Langcaster-James. “And, because of their close relationship, they also have a source of support and encouragement when it comes to their style decisions.”More than a quarter of women believe that Mums who have sons are less fashio n-conscious than Mums with daughters. The most common reasons for this are that daughters are more critical, offer good advice and inspiration, and add an element of competition to look the best while sons don‟t seem to care and aren‟t as strict as daughters.Interestingly, although mothers tend to rely on their daughters‟ style tips, their confidence isn‟t reciprocated﹙互换﹚, with 40 percent of women between the age of 19 and 34 saying they wouldn‟t allow their mothers to shop for them as what their mothers would choose for them would not be as good as they expected.And although they might not appreciate the fashion advice, the research, which was conducted by online retailer Gray & Osbourn, showed that daughters do still need their mothers with 71 percent saying they chat to their female parent every day.“In short, the research shows just how important relationships are between mothers and daughters,” added Langcaster-James, “and just how much women appreciate an hone st and trustworthy opinion.”26. The opening paragraph is mainly to show .A. girls influence their mothers‟ style decisionB. women with children are oftenless stylishC. mothers like to follow their children‟s adviceD. boys are actually b etter advisors than girls27. Which of the following may Langcaster-James agree with?A. Daughters usually love their mothers more than sons do.B. It‟s hard for boys to get along well with their mothers.C. Mothers without daughters show less interest in style.D. Girls are more independent than boys in some ways.28. It can be inferred from the passage that girls .A. show more interest in science than boys.B. care more about what their mothers wearC. can help a lot to solve family problemsD. are good at encouraging other people29. By saying “their confidence isn‟t reciprocated” in Paragraph 5, the author means that .A. some women don‟t like to choose clothes for their mothersB. some women aren‟t sure what to wear when att ending a partyC. some women oft en show no confidence in themselvesD. some women would not like to follow their mothers‟ style advice30. What does the author mainly tell us in the passage?A. It confuses many parents how to talk with their kids.B. Daughters prefer to talk with their mums instead of dads.C. It is important for parents to respect their children‟s choice.D. Mothers of girls are more fashionable than those of boysACBDD。

Be it a yes or no, it is now a possibility.On October 10, Travel Alberta, the tourism organization for the province of Alberta, Canada,traveled to Beijin g to promote its new project, “Glacier Skywalk,” at a press conference.The project is currently under construction and is scheduled to open May 2014. The newattraction is only minutes away from the Columbia Icefield Glacier Discovery Center, and is already expected to become a new Canadian landmark. The bold concept of walking amid a glacier may seem unrealistic, but a glass corridor extending from the glacier’s cliff will make the experience a reality.The glass corridor will function as a fully accessible walkway leading to a glass-flooredobservation platform 280 meters (918 ft) above the Sunwapta Valley, and will allow visitors to witness the powers of glaciology. From ice-capped mountain peaks to vast glacier-formed valleys, the Glacier Skywalk will p rovide visitors with a front row seat to some of nature’s most grandeur beauty.The project will not only become an innovative travel spot, but will also be seen as anengineering miracle. Its main purpose will be to provide visitors with a brand-new viewing experience, in which one can go beyond nature’s edge and immerse themselves in an awe-inspiring trip in one of the world’s most unique ecosystems.Remember to breathe“Remember to breathe” is the slogan of Travel Alberta’s global promotional campaign. R oyceChwin, one of the developers of the project and the Chief Marketing Officer of Travel Alberta, elaborated on the idea in depth at the press conference. “Remember to breathe” is a key statement which serves as a reminder to stop, take a moment, refill your energy, remember to slow down, take in your surroundings, take it all in and to drink in the unique personal experience that you create.”For city dwellers who have a hectic life schedule for almost 365 days a year, this idea servesespecially as a reminder that life resides in every breath that is inhaled and exhaled, so people should never forget to slow down and enjoy every moment.China: essential outbound tourism marketAs more Chinese travelers embark on foreign trips, many Western countries are wooingChinese tourists, and Alberta is no exception. “China is extremely important to Canada, we have seen a double-digit 18% growth of Chinese visitors year after year, which is the world’s largest outbound tourism market for Alberta,” said Chwin.One ad vantage adding to Canada’s appeal for Chinese tourists is the Approved DestinationStatus, a 10-year multiple-entry visa which Chinese travelers can apply for to make their travel much smoother. With more than 82 connecting flights a week between the two countries, traveling to Canada has never been easier.16. Which of the following about Glacier Skywalk is true?A. It is promoted by a tourism organization from Beijing.B. It has no chance to become a new Canadian landmark.C. It is mainly designed to let visitors have a brand-new experience.D. It is far away from the Columbia Icefield Glacier Discovery Center.17. The slogan of travel Alberta’s global promotional campaign “Remember to breathe” is used to________.A. warn tourists of the danger thereB. describe the beauty of Glacier SkywalkC. indicate the excitement of walking through a glacierD. remind people to slow down and enjoy every momentBPopcorn at the MoviesAdvertising uses repetition to increase consumers’ preference for brands. Particularl y for novelbrands, much exposure and repetition is necessary to establish the brand name in the first place. Do you still remember your feeling when you see or hear the names YAHOO or GOOGLE for the first time? Now they are imprinted in your brain. Basic psychological research has already shown that repeatedly perceived (感知) information is easier to be remembered for the brain process.Recent research has shown that repetition effects actually are originally caused from the mouth.Each time we come across a person’s or product name, the lips and the tongue automatically simulate (模仿) the pronunciation of that name. This happens without our awareness and without actual mouth movements. During inner speech, the brain attempts to say the novel name. When names are presented repeatedly, this simulation happens repeatedly. However, if this inner speech is disturbed, for instance during chewing gum or whispering another word, the repetition effect vanishes.An interesting experiment was conducted in movie theaters. 96 participants were invited to areal movie theater and were presented a block of commercials and a movie later on. Half of the participants received popcorn to eat. For them, the mouth was occupied with chewing the popcorn so the mouth muscles could not engage in inner speech when watching the ads for the novel brands. The other half of the participants only received a small sugar cube, which dissolved quickly in their mouth so that the mouth muscles were free to simulate the pronunciation of the brand names. The participants were invited to the lab one week after the cinema session. They were presented with images of products. Half of these products had been advertised in the cinema session; the other half were completely novel products. Participants were asked to indicate the products that they liked, and their physiological (生理的) responses were measured. Those participants who had only received a sugar cube proved that there was a clear advertising effect. They preferred advertised novel products and also showed positive physiological responses of familiarity for advertised products. However, those participants who had eaten popcorn while watching the commercials one week before showed no such advertising effect.18. Why does the author mention Yahoo and Google in Paragraph One?A. To remind readers of brand names.B. To prove the influence of repetition.C. To compare the effects of two brands.D. To draw readers’ attention to the research.19. What does the underlined word “vanish” probably mean?A. Disappear.B. Improve.C. Reduce.D. Occur.20. One week after the cinema session, the participants who ate sugar cube ________.A. held positive attitude toward moviesB. showed preference for advertisementsC. tended to choose the advertised productsD. felt familiar with the commercials and the movies21. Where is the passage likely to have been taken from?A. A psychological report.B. An entertainment website.C. A commercial advertisement.D. A popular science magazine.CIs this happening in your neighborhood? Children, notebook computers stuck under their arms,await the yellow bus for the trip to middle school. On the surface, the question of computers in schools is a no-brainer. It would be strange to insist that today’s technology shouldn’t be used to make the classroom experience more individualized, more effective, more immediate, more exciting. Computers have been in schools more than 20 years—and probably even done some good.But the idea of a personal computer as a necessary daily tool for every American grammarschool pupil is altogether a different thing. Be aware of the seemingly attractive vision of 10-year-olds doing most of their work—and homework—on a computer. It is another illusory silver bullet that promises to solve all of society’s ills through technology. Regardless of whether parents or taxpayers buy the machinery, it’s bad policy.Determining the proper role of computers in schools is too important to be left to computersuppliers and educators. An educated public with clear and realistic expectations needs to help determine the right track for technology.Educators forever seem to seek the ultimate in teaching tools. They are always preoccupiedwith innovation—junior high school, new math, whole language, open classrooms, and mastery learning, to name a few. Some ideas turned out well and over time have earned permanent positions in our education systems. Other reflected change for changes’ sake and wound up in the trash bin, where they belong.Exactly what is to be solved with computers in schools? Are we looking to improveinstructional capacity and flexibility? Are we trying to make teachers and aids more productive by letting students take advantage of programmed learning tools? This all sounds good, and much has been accomplished with computer-assisted instruction.But that’s not the same as making the computer a symbol of well-tempered educational policy.There’s danger in the message that a child is not fully educated if he or she can’t surf the World Wide Web skillfully, move around in Windows or the Founder, use a word processing program, or program in Logo or Basic.These skills can be learned outside the classroom. Worse, the time it takes students to acquirethem is time stolen from the teaching schedule—and that’s a bad trade.And what kind of computers should be purchased? We’re not talking brand names. Mostschool systems don’t have the money to replace PCs or Macs on the two-to-three-year cycle that shifting technologies demand. On the other hand, $2500—the cost of just one computer—invested in books for the school library produces wealth that has, shall we say, a longer shelf life.And who changes the factory culture of schoolrooms to allow computers to be more effective?And who teaches the teachers? These are the really tough issues—the ones that more hardware won’t solve.Children are best served when schools contribute to shaping the solid foundations on whichtheir future will be built. The student who can read with curiosity and understanding, who has mastered basic mathematical concepts, who can evaluate ideas critically, is the one schools shouldaim to produce.22. A “no-brainer” in the third sentence of the first paragraph probably means ________.A. something that is taken for grantedB. an idea that is brainless and foolishC. a proposal that is not worthy of serious considerationD. a machine that can never take the place of human brain23. According to the author, teaching computer in the school classroom is bad practice because________.A. the computer is too expensive a luxury for school pupilsB. the pupils are not intelligently mature enough to master the skillsC. it takes too much time which might have been spent on regular coursesD. the pupils can learn nothing from computer-assisted instruction24. In the last paragraph the author implies that ________.A. computer skills contribute nothing to a proper educationB. computer teaching is an essential part of an educationC. the fundamental purpose of an education is being ignoredD. teachers should be taught how to teach computer skillsDThe First HelloThe man from the telephone department got off the bus, and made his way to the tea stall,wiping the sweat off his head, face, then slipping his handkerchief under his shirt to wipe his neck and back. It was a year ago that the phone line had been installed, six months later men from the public works department had come to put up the phone booth—a neat box-like structure, with a glass window, and wooden ledges, yellow in colour. And days after that, a painter had taken an entire day to colour in broad, black brushstrokes, the words: STD Booth, local and STD allowded.No one could tell that the last word had been misspelled. Besides, he had taken the entireday. After he had a cup of tea, he left, waving cheerfully. And now months later, someone else was here again.Everyone watched the man as he sat on the bench. No one said a word, and soon thesound of him slurping his tea filled the hot afternoon. A few leaves fell, heavy in the heat, and sometimes a car passed, on its way to the main city farther away.When the man had finished, he tried to pay but the tea shop owner who sat behind hissteaming kettle and the washed upturned cups, waved him away.“You are our guest here.”So the man took his handkerchief out again and wiped his face.They crowded around him as he shut himself up in the phone booth. When the childrenpressed their nose against the glass, he shooed them away, as he took out a shiny black instrument and placed it on the narrow shelf. A sigh of satisfaction passed through everyone that soon changed to an excited yell as they saw him dial a number, pressing a finger into the ringed dialer of the phone and letting it go all the way in a half-circle. A while later, they hear him sa y into the mouthpiece, “Hello.”“Hello,” the children around the booth took up the cry, the teashop owner broke into asmile and the men waiting for a bus smiled and said hello to each other. The sadhu(印度的僧人) who sat under the banyan tree nodded wisely. As the sound carried, more hellos were heard. The women winnowing grain giggled as they tried the word tentatively, the shepherds feeding their flocks called out to their sheep, laughing as they used the word.“It’s a big occasion,” said the headman, in an awed(敬畏的) voice.“It is.” agreed those around him. The telephone man emerged and handed over a smallchit of paper to the headman. “This is the telephone number.”The headman looked at it respectfully as if it were a mantra(符咒). The others aroundhim read out the numbers slowly, digit-by-digit.The telephone man was now too tired to notice the cheering around him. He knew he hadto wait long before the bus to take him back arrived. As he sipped his second cup of tea, he remembered something else.“Oh, you can’t start using the phone now. The minister will come next month andinaugurate it.”No one said a word. No one was surprised. They had waited so long; a month more didnot really matter.25. In the story, fitting a working telephone booth __________.A. was a process that had already taken 12 monthsB. was in the charge of the headmanC. was finished more than a year agoD. was an artistic challenge for a local painter26. A misspelled word on the booth __________.A. was a joke shared by the painter and the local peopleB. made the painter miss his tea breakC. went unnoticed by the local peopleD. kept everyone occupied for an entire day27. When the man from the telephone department arrived, __________.A. the hot afternoon was filled with quiet expectationB. there was a sudden rush of activity in the villageC. he was greeted like a regular customerD. he learned about the village while having a nice drink28. What can be inferred from the story?A. The man from the telephone department had a mentally demanding job.B. Only the minister had the authority to make the first call.C. It was a distant village free from modern technology.D. Few of the local children went to school for education.29. The examples of the children, the teashop owner, the men waiting for the bus, the womenand the shepherds are given to illustrate __________.A. the local people’s curiosity for the new thingB. the ignorance of the local peopleC. the local people’s enthusiasm for English learningD. the popularity of the man from the telephone department30.

Do you need to get your job hunt in gear?These job hunting tips from leading career experts and top executives at leading job sites will help you focus your job hunt and ensure your job hunt succeeds.When I was a kid, my father often told me that you should wait until right after lunch if you were interviewing for a job, asking someone for a favor or otherwise concerned about having someone's rapt attention. By contrast, he warned me, doing any of these things right before lunch was very bad strategy. Reason: when people are hungry, they are bound to be impatient enough; after they are fed, they are likely to be content and generous. Something to remember in marketing yourself. Once again, it seems that my father indeed knew best. A recent academic study of petitions for parole indicates that, controlling for all other factors, the sooner after a meal that a case came up before the judges, the more likely the judges were to grant the petition.It is a mistake to believe that you cannot negotiate compensation when you receive a job offer, despite the overall weak job market. Organizations may decide not to fill a position because of the business climate, but once they decide to fill a position, they usually want the best candidate and are willing to pay them what they need in order to get them to accept and feel good about the offer. That means once an organization decides that you are the person they want to hire, you are in a relatively strong position to negotiate compensation. Companies rarely include everything they have in their initial offer because they want to retain some flexibility to negotiate with the candidate. Offers almost never are withdrawn because you seek more as long as you ask in the right way (i.e. no ultimatums or threats.) Even if you are unemployed you can negotiate compensation if you know how. Simply put, if you don't ask you are likely to be leaving money on the table.For those with an adventurous spirit or simply wanting to take a different approach to their job hunt, we recommend giving seasonal work a try. One major perk of a seasonal job is to be able to fully commit and try out a new field, location, or job without the full-blown expectations of accepting a year-round job with similar scope. Anyone can do a job for three to six months and see if they like it. This type of work may also be a good fit for the recently laid off to fill in the gaps while looking for full time work. In our experience, seasonal jobs can play a major role in your work/career discovery process. Knowing that many are out of work and re-assessing their skill sets, this type of work might be just the ticket to send job seekers on a new and exciting path.Companies spend a great deal of effort trying to find the right candidate, but in this economy it can be easy for job seekers to forget that there are in fact many employers looking for them. It’s key for job seekers to stay up-to-date on where employers go to find candidates and develop a presence there. Indeed Resume, an open resume search engine, is a great example of where companies will be searching for employees in 2012. Because Indeed Resume is open to all companies, your resume can be found by many more employers. To protect your privacy, employers can’t see your per sonal contact information until you provide approval.CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated。

True self-confidence isn't an overnight acquisition. It takes dedication to realize you are a good human being that is wo rthy of respect and love.Recognize your insecuritiesWhat does that voice in the back of your mind say? Why do you feel uncomfortable or ashamed of yourself? This could be anything from regrets to friends at school or negative experience. Whatever is making you feel unworthy, or ashamed, identify it, give it a name, and write it down. You can also tear these written pieces to start feeling positive on those points.Get rid of insecurities graduallyEach day you should weaken it. There's no quick fix. Get to the root of the problem; focus on it and understand that you need to resolve each issue before you can move on. Check if it is an old past emotion and if it is really still relevant or applicable in your life today. And that does not mean you have to get rid of whatever makes you feel bad (many times, you simply can't). You need to learn to accept yourself, your past, your circumstances as they are, without necessarily thinking of th em as “bad”.Identify your successesEveryone is good at something, so discover the things at which you do extremely well, then focus on your talents. Give yourself permission to be proud of them. Give yourself credit for your successes. Inferiority (自卑) is a state of mind in which you've declared yourself a victim. Do not allow yourself to be victimized.Be PositiveAvoid self-pity, or the pity and sympathy of others. Never allow others to make you feel inferior—they can only do so if you let them. If you continue to dislike and look down upon yourself, others are going to do and believe likewise. Instead, speak in a positive way about yourself, about your future, and about your progress. Do not be afraid to show your strengths and qualities to others. By doing so, you strengthen those ideas in your mind and encourage your growth in a positive direction.Apply “facial feedback theory”Studies surrounding what’s called the "facial feedback theory" suggest that the expressions on your face can actually encourage your brain to express certain emotions. So look in the mirror and smile every day, and you might feel happier with yourself and more confident in the long run.Help othersWhen you know you’re of help to the people around you, and are making a posi tive difference in other people’s lives (even if it's just being kinder to the personwho serves you coffee in the morning), you'll know that you are a positive force in the world—which will boost yourself confidence.Now, dear friends, will you let confidence keep you company? Be confident, and accomplishing your goals will be just around the corner.39答案完形填空1-5 ADCBB 6-10 ADACB 11-15 DAABB 16-20 DACBC单项填空21-25 DCADD 26-30 CABDC 31-35 CDCCD 26-30 CABDC任务型阅读71 makes/leaves; 72 Removing;73causes / roots; 74what; 75pride; 76 positively; 77pitied / sympathized; 78.confidence; 79. helpful; 80.respected。

But according to a recent study, there is a different story.The study suggests the Chinese government’s long-running efforts to control the Yellow River with levees(防洪堤) and other flood-control systems actually made flooding much worse. This, researchers claim, set the stage for a catastrophic flood between 14-17 AD, which may have caused the collapse of the Western Han Dy nasty. “Human intervention(介入) in the Chinese environment is relatively massive, remarkably early and nowhere more keenly witnessed than in attempts to control the Yellow River,” said Dr Tristram Kidder from Washington University.Dr Kidder’s research is b ased on a study of sedimentary soils(沉积土) deposited along the Yellow River over thousands of years. It included data from the Sanyangzhuang site, known today as “China’s Pompeii,” which was slowly buried beneath five metres of sediment during a massive flood in 14-17 AD. It also looked at the Anshang site, discovered in 2012, which includes the remains of a human-constructed levee dating back to the Zhou Dynasty from 1046-256 BC.Researchers said patterns of sedimentary deposits date back about 10,000 years. Nearly a third of this 10,000-year cross-section has been deposited in the last 2,000 years, indicating that the rate of deposit has steadily increased at a pace that mirrors the expansion of human activity in the region. “Our analysis clearly shows that these levees are not naturally formed, but are indeed artificially created through the work of humans,” said Dr Kidder.His research suggests the Chinese began building drainage(排水) canals and bank systems along the lower reaches of the Yellow River between 2,900 and 2,700 years ago. The sedimentary record shows a vicious cycle of primitive levees built larger and larger as erosion(侵蚀) increased, and periodic floods grew more widespread and destructive. “It’s easy to see the trap they fell into,” Dr Kidder said. “Building levees causes sediments to accumulate in the river bed, raising the river higher, and making it more vulnerable to flooding, which requires you to build the levee higher, which causes the sediments to accumulate, and the process repeats it self.”While there are many theories behind the fall of the Western Han Dynasty, Dr Kidder’s research suggests human interaction with the environment played a central role.19. What is the different story mentioned in Paragraph 1?A. Flooding of the Yellow River may have claimed millions of lives.B. Flooding of the Yellow River may have resulted from humans’ breaking the laws of nature.C. Flooding of the Yellow River may have been worsened due to human intervention.D. Flooding of the Yellow River may have caused the collapse of the Western Han Dynasty.20. Dr Kidder’s research findings are achieved thanks to the study of .A. the theories of building flood-control systemsB. great flooding happening in ancient ChinaC. the history of the Western Han DynastyD. sediments along the Yellow River21.The underlined part “the trap” in the last but one paragraph refers to “”.A. the primitive levees being more vulnerable to floodingB. the ever-increasing river bed making the river more likely to floodC. the sediments accumulating in the river bed making the river bank looserD. the ever-increasing river bed making the levee-building work more difficultCLook into hunters’ eyesHA VE you ever been face to face with a cat or a sheep? If you have, you probably noticed that cats narrow their eyes to vertical (垂直的) slits (狭缝), while sheep have horizontal pupils (瞳孔).Why is the difference?Scientists from the Universities of California Berkeley and Durham in Britain may have the answer. Their research, published recently in the journal Science Advances, suggested that pupils’ shapes could tell whether an animal is a hunter or gets hunted.The researchers took a close look at the eyes of 214 land animals. The challenge was to see if they could find a relationship between an animal’s role in the food chain and the pupils’ shapes.They found a pattern. Species with pupils that are vertical slits are more likely to be small ambush predators (捕猎者) –creatures that lie in wait for their lunch. In contrast, those with horizontal pupils are more likely to be plant-eating prey (猎物Evolution chose the arrangement for a good reason. For hunters such as household cats, it appears that vertical pupils not only improve their ability to keep track of moving objects like mice, but also maximize (使最大化) their ability to judge the distances of the animals they hunt.However, an interesting discovery from the study is that the slit pupils are mostly linked to hunters that are close to the ground. Therefore, bigger cats who actively hunt down their prey, like tigers and lions, don’t have slit pupils.On the other hand, for plant-eating prey animals, horizontal pupils give them a wider field of vision. When stretched (伸展) horizontally, the pupils allow for more light to enter from the front, back, and sides. Meanwhile, they also limit the amount of light from the sun above so the animal can see the ground better. “Once they do detect (发现) a predator, they need to see where they are running,” said leading res earcher Martin Banks, a UC Berkeley professor of optometry (视光学). “They have to see well enough out of the corner of their eye to run quickly and jump over things.”But what happens when they bend down to eat? Researchers checked this by watching prey animals in the Oakland Zoo in California, US. They confirmed (确认) that when goats lower their heads to eat, their eyes rotate (旋转) to keep their pupils horizontal.So it seems that the eyes are indeed the window to the soul!22. What is the article mainly about?A. How animals keep track of moving objects.B. Why animals have evolved with different shaped pupils.C. How animals change their pupils’ shape when hunting for food.D. How the pupils’ shape influences an animal’s ability to detect a predator.23. According to the study, slit pupils ______.A. help to provide a wider field of visionB. are more likely to belong to big predatorsC. are more likely to belong to those to get huntedD. provide the sharpest way to judge hunting distance24. What can we conclude from the article about plant-eating prey animals?A. Their pupils allow more light to be received from both above and below.B. Their pupils are able to help them scan their surroundings for threats.C. Once they detect a predator, their eyes rotate to help them find where to run.D. When they lower their heads to eat, they narrow their eyes to vertical slits.DMy mind went blank when I saw the gun pointing against the car window as we pulled out of the garage. This can’t be happening to me. Then I felt the gun, cold, against my head, and I heard my friend Jeremy saying, “What do you want? Take my wallet,” but at the time I thought of nothing.I remember being a little annoyed when the gunman pulled me from the car by the hair. I remember the walk to the house --- Jeremy, me, the two men with two guns. I remember the fear and anger in the gunmen’s voices because Jeremy was being slow, and I remember wondering why he was being slow. I did not realize that Jeremy had thrown the keys into the bush. But I remember that sound of the gun hitting Jeremy’s head and the feeling as the man who had hold of my hair released me. And I remember the split second when I realized he was looking at Jeremy, and I remember wondering how far I could run before he pulled the trigger. But I was already running, and upon reaching the car across the street, I didn’t crouch(蹲伏) behind it but screamed instead.I remember thinking there was something ridiculous and illogical about screaming “Help, help!” at eight o’clock on a T uesday evening in December and changing my plea(恳求) to themore specific “Help, let me in, please let me in!” But the houses were cold, closed, unfriendly, and I ran on until I heard Jeremy’s screams behind me announcing that our attackers had fled.The neighbors who had not opened their doors to us came out with baseball bats and helped Jeremy find his glasses and keys. In a group they were very brave. We waited for the police to come until someone said to someone else that the noodles were getting cold, and I said politely, “Please go and eat. We’re OK.”I was happy to see them go. They had been talking of stricter sentences for criminals, of bringing back the death penalty(处罚) and how the President is going to clean up the country. I was thinking, they could be saying all of this over my dead body, and I still feel that stiffer sentences wouldn’t change a thing. In a rush all the anger I should have felt for my attackers was directed against these contented people standing in front of their warm, comfortable homes talking about all the guns they were going to buy. What good would guns have been to Jeremy and me?People all over the neighborhood had called to report our screams, and the police turned out in force twenty minutes later. They were ill-tempered about what was, to them, much trouble about nothing. After all, Jeremy was hardly hurt, and we were hopeless when it came to describing the gunmen. “Typical,” said one policeman when we couldn’t even agree on how tall the men were. Both of us were able to describe the guns in horrifying detail, but the two policemen who stayed to make the report didn’t think that would be much help.The policemen were matter-of-fact about the whole thing. The thin one said, “That was a stupid thing to do, throwing away the keys. When a man has a gun against your head you do what you’re told.” Jeremy looked properly embarrassed.Then the fat policeman came up and the thin one went to look around the outside of the house. “That was the best thing you could have done, throwing away the keys,” he said. “If you had gone into the house with them…” His voice became weaker. “They would have hurt her” --- he twisted his head toward me --- “and killed you both.” Jeremy looked happier. “Look,” said the fat policeman kindly, “there’s no right or wrong in the situation. There’s just luck.”All that sleepless night I replayed the moment those black gloves came up to the car window. How long did the whole thing last? Three minutes, five, eight? No matter how many hours of my life I may spend reliving it, I know there is no way to prepare for the next time --- no intelligent response to a gun. The fat cop was right. There’s only luck. The next time I might end up dead.And I’m sure there will be a next time. It can happen anywhere, anyt ime, to anyone. Security is an illusion(幻觉); there is no safety in locks or in guns. Guns make some people feel safe and some people feel strong, but they’re fooling themselves.25.
